The Pear Affair

內容簡介

內容簡介 女孩Nell的爸爸是雜貨大亨，媽媽熱衷時尚精品，關心時尚勝過關心女兒，因此Nell很不喜歡與父母在一起。有一天父母說要去巴黎，Nell難得央求父母，想跟著一起去，因為以前照顧Nell的保母Pear就住在巴黎。Pear是唯一真正喜愛Nell的人，之前都會寫信給Nell，但最近突然停止了…，Nell想一探究竟。在聰明的服務生Xavier的幫助下，Nell從父母的豪華酒店開溜，外出尋找保母。奇怪的是保母的鄰居和同事對她的事三緘其口，Nell和Xavier覺得事有蹊蹺，決定繼續追蹤下去，追出城市最詭譎黑暗的一面。Nell is determined to find her beloved missing au pair in this vibrant adventure set in, and underneath, Paris.Penelope Magnificent spends as little time as possible with her awful parents—a grocery-mogul father and a fashion-obsessed mother who loves expensive purses more than she does her daughter. But when they mention an important trip to Paris, Nell begs to come along. Paris holds something very dear to her: her old au pair Perrine—Pear—who lives there. Pear used to write to Nell every week, promising to come to her rescue, but recently the letters stopped. With the help of a savvy bellboy named Xavier, Nell sets out from her parents’ ultra-fancy Parisian hotel to find her beloved Pear. But Pear’s old neighbors and coworkers are strangely tight-lipped. And as Nell’s search for the truth takes her and Xavier to some of the darkest, most mysterious parts of the city, a sinister plot comes to light involving the destruction of a cherished—and delicious—part of Parisian life. Food, fashion, and intrigue abound in this delightful caper from the author of The Secret Starling."
